**Mō **mātou | About Hōhepa**

Working at Hōhepa, is different from the average, you become part of our community of people, staff, volunteers, and contractors who all have a common goal - helping people to reach their full potential and lead enriched and meaningful lives in a holistic, supportive environment. We are a community leader providing services and support for people living with an intellectual disability to live their best lives and find a valued place in our society. Inspired by Dr Rudolf Steiner’s principles of anthroposophy, we seek to understand each person and situation as unique, not a one size fits all philosophy.

**Mō **te tūranga | About the Role**

With recent growth in our services, we have several exciting opportunities to join one of Support Worker Teams. We have a variety of casual positions available.

As a Support Worker you will work alongside our people to provide day-to-day support. You will be supporting people with disabilities in a range of settings including in their home, out in the community and at our day services. The people we support love getting out into the community, whether its shopping, beach walks, coffee and cake outings, visiting friends, supporting the Crusaders, going to markets and fairs, or heading to the pub for a pint, to name just a few.

The people we support have varying levels of need, and daily tasks vary from service to service but may include cooking, cleaning, medication administration, stores purchasing, personal cares, as well as facilitating community participation, recreational activities, and supporting people to achieve their goals. You may also provide person-centered support in homes where routine is critical; following details plans to meet the needs of the people.

We are a 24/7 operation - you would let us know when you are available to work and be given a roster each fortnight to reflect your availability. We will also call you when we have last minute leave to cover. You could do as little as 6 hours a week and up to 50 hours a week. You pick and choose what suits you Our shift patterns include morning, evening, overnight (awake and asleep) and split shifts.

This position's salary scale is set by pay equity and dependent on qualification level, pays between $23.15 and $28.25 per hour.

**Mō **koe | About You**
- We are looking for people who are resilient, self-motivated, empathetic, and who have a passion for helping others and making a real difference in people’s lives.
- You'll be a team player, with a positive outlook, able to problem solve using sound judgement and skills to manage risk and make thoughtful decisions.
- Previous experience supporting people with intellectual disabilities is not a requirement. But you will need a willingness to learn and continue to develop your skills as a support worker.

**Nga **hua o te mahi ki a Hōhepa | Benefits of working at Hōhepa**
- Enjoy a great person to-staff ratio, allowing for more personalised support
- Receive ongoing support for your professional and career development
- Support to complete a NZQF Certificate in Health and Wellbeing level, 2, 3 or 4
- Employment Benefits including discounts to Christchurch City Council Gym and Pool Membership

**Applicants must have a NZ full driver’s licence and ability to work in New Zealand.**

**At Hōhepa the role of a Support Coordinator is what is often referred to in the wider healthcare sector as a Support Worker. We feel that the title Support Coordinator better reflects the nature of the role, which requires working in partnership with the people receiving support to ensure we are achieving our organisation mission of every life fully lived.
